Ah the spitgate of 2018, i remember the one day when the sub as fully on board the "second spitter" theory, then the alternative angle came out.

[–] tonypearcern@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Rondo just transferring his desire to beat his wife and kid onto CP3.

One of the only fights in recent NBA history and it’s the two smallest dudes on the court lol

[–] Sharcbait@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Ibaka vs Lopez and Afflalo vs Bjelly are the only 2 I can think of where people actually were swinging.

I still don’t understand Ingram’s thinking here.

[–] CameronPlain@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Thinking? Guy just swung into the middle of a group of bodies.

[–] KaiserKaiba@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Slim Reefer just wanted to scrap

This really was an all-time skirmish. Watching it unfold on live TV was surreal.

[–] AnotsuKagehisa@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Why’s Chris Paul trash talking himself?

[–] mcrajf@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Poetry in motion. Also Melo, Rockets legend.

[–] CreativePlugJay@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Ingram’s swing was out of pocket🤣 this felt like the other day😂

[–] lialialia20@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Melo's reaction tho

[–] xtraburnacct@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (5 children)

lmao its amazing how close up they got to this to reveal the spit

[–] Sev41@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

ENHANCE

[–] LittlefishBigsplash@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Right— I’d heard about that part but this is the first time I’ve actually seen it

[–] MediocreTake@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Fr I can almost taste it

[–] owbug@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I remember when this was getting replayed when it first happened.

-“Cp3 poking at his face/eye I would’ve swung too!!”

Then a close up comes out. Fan theories “rondo spit! Cp3 reacts to something!”

-then this super close hd comes out lol the little spit flying. I remember reading a comment saying rondo been practicing doing this turtle spit move for ages lmao

I remember the week after this fight where people were zooming into the pixels to confirm whether Rondo spit on him or not.

Still never figured out why B.I pushed Harden for no reason 🤔

[–] kwesi777@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Wait, how many games did Melo play for that Rockets team? 100% forgot that happened lmao

[–] orange_orange13@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

[–] SpartanVasilias@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

God this video is such a vibe

[–] Chefalo@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

LeBron and Carmelo chatting and watching this all go down then being the peace makers made me laugh for some reason

[–] WilNotJr@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Need more players to spit in Chris Paul's face and punch him in the eyebollocks.

[–] Necessary_Initial350@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Melo grabbing BI and Bron grabbing CP3

[–] ghoney04@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

[–] Single_Minute2829@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if this fight got to finish

[–] camy205@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That is such a tragic looking fight in slow motion haha

[–] CavemanCavalier@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Carmelo was on the Rockets??

[–] nbapat43@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

was that the season opener of 2018?

[–] Clwhit12@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Chris Paul learned something out Louisville guys that night.

Who was Ingram swinging at exactly?

Didnt even show the best part were Nipsey was ready to tap in. Legend.

[–] catscanmeow@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
